LODGE FARM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LODGE FARM sales between July 2010 and May 2023 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the August 2012 sale was for 83% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 83% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.
